Made it a month! Woohoo! Overall, I'd say it's gotten much easier. I am in wayyyy better shape than when I started and 50 miles in a day seems like a short ride. Now let's just hope it's good enough to survive high altitudes in the mountains and super hot temperatures in the plains and desert.
The rest day helped a lot and I had a ton of energy throughout the the day. The weather also worked out nicely. There weren't any winds and it was very cloudy for most of the day. If you look at the picture, it looked like that to the left and to the right for about 4 hours. I lucked out and got about two drops of rain.
It was hilly, but nothing compared to the trip to Houston. I only had two rest stops for a little food and other than that I was on the bike. I did 68 miles. Maybe one was vertical.
Almost out of the Ozarks. I've got about 1.5 days until I hit fairly level terrain and a little over 2 until it's pretty much flat.
Two more days until I hit the bike shop that's put aside a tire for me.
I'm in Marshfield, MO.
I saw cow poop today while I rode by. It was gross.
